NFL Week 15 picks

A nice 5-1 mark thanks to some heroics puts me 13 a head with only 3 weeks left in the regular season.
Standings
Derek 57-27
Loren 44-30

Denver at Baltimore
Loren - Denver. Baltimore's D just ain't what it used to be. Denver has definitely hit their stride and is fighting for a top 2 playoff seed. Baltimore gives up about 130 ypg on the ground so Denver should let Manning have a relatively easy day and just rotate backs.
Derek – Denver. I see the Ravens struggling on D while the Broncos should be able to score enough against an aging and depleted lineup. Keep Manning up right is the goal of the game for Denver.
Green Bay at Chicago
Loren - Green Bay. Chicago has lost two tough games while Green Bay is 7-1 in their last 8. Packers have the momentum and a game lead in the division. Make it two after Sunday.
Derek – Green Bay. The division is turning around to be what most expected. Green Bay dominating, or at least winning, and the Bears well you know ok.
Tampa Bay at New Orleans
Loren - New Orleans. I'm not sure I've picked a Bucs game right this year, but you have the worst passing defense going against the second best passing offense. It's just a matter of time until Brees starts picking them apart.
Derek – New Orleans. The Bucs give up a bunch of yards and they’re playing Brees in the Super
Duper Dome? Yeah I’ll go with at least 34 points this week.
NY Giants at Atlanta
Loren - Atlanta. The Giants D isn't doing them any favors, but which team will we see? If they play the way they did against Green Bay and New Orleans, this could be a good match. Unfortunately for them, Atlanta actually plays defense. Given the home field advantage, it's hard to take the Giants.
Derek – Atlanta. I could go either way on this one, both teams have been inconsistent of late so I’ll lean to the home team. A winner of this game will feel much better about themselves moving forward.
Pittsburgh at Dallas
Loren - Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh plays great defense. You can just hear Romo shaking in his house, clutching his pearls and shedding a shuddering tear. Pittsburgh forces Romo into mistakes and drives yet another nail into the coffin of Romo's and Garrett's tenure in Dallas.
Derek – Dallas. The Cowboys are playing well as of late. Perhaps they’re lulling me into a sleep before barfing all over their season as per usual. But until then I feel somewhat confident taking them. The Steelers just don’t look that good.
San Francisco at New England
Loren - San Francisco. Upset special! I just like SF's defense and ability to run the ball. Yeah, west coast team traveling east and all that, but the Pats have had trouble against teams playing solid D, and the 49ers are the second best overall defense.
Derek – New England. The 49ers have to travel across the country. They have to slow down the NFL’s best offense. They have to keep up with that offense with a rookie QB. Riiiight. I’ll take Brady.
